Such as the Atlas of Mercator in the sixteenth century, the purpose of this research project is to transform an invisible reality in to visible.
The house and the house-project (expressions used here in its wider architectural, cultural and political meaning), determine extensively the domestic space. They refer to a large set of phenomena for whose understanding multiple inter-linking agents are required, in areas as diverse as architecture, history, social sciences, geography, engineering materials and technology industry.
In fact, the wide dimension of the matter, which, as a coherent structure, largely escaped traditional single sector analysis produced on the subject. Failing to include a reading of both individual and global phenomena, abandoning any sense of universality of knowledge and leading to significant confusion, which marked many twentieth century studies.
Clear examples are the post-war rebuilding of cities and the urban sprawl in the second half of the twentieth century, with problematic results on the ecological structure, the widespread adoption of housing types today threatened with radical demolition, together with the production of standards on housing unable to consider different ways of life and new technologies available, or the inadequate use of resources and technology.
The tradition of studies on the dwelling, in general supported by the need for deepening vertical knowledge, drastically ignored its context. This led, in all fields of knowledge, to the hasty rejection of the importance of many phenomena discarded as less attractive and visible, characterized as banal and anonymous, or not immediately related to the production of the house, although generally extensive and significant, which could
have unveiled important but grossly devalued facts and concepts.
More than just replace or upgrade a confused and scattered knowledge, it becomes important to introduce a different approach to the studies of the house, the living and the housing, aiming, with a different approach, a new characterization of a common object, deeply inserted in a grid of rich concepts and structures, that should define and guide the research.
To ensure this goal, the House Atlas, as a group of innovative and interdisciplinary research, will start with the house history and genealogy in the belief that it's an indispensable tool for basic knowledge about the home and dwell, to interpret the changes of the twentieth century and mapify the trends of the present.

Atlas da Casa has four projects leading to a wide comprehension of the contexts, the concepts and the forms of single and multi family housing architecture.

Mapping Public Housing in Portugal
It is intended to promote the development of studies on architectural housing design in the portuguese XXth century.
The out coming overall view from sequential projects will be enriched by the particular vision of each work, through a phenomenological and conceptual approach that guides the research.

Between times and variations: critical approach to the 19th and 20 th centuries architecture
This research is mainly of an essaying nature, whose purposes are to question and debate architects and their works in order to develop innovative readings of the modern culture that over crosses from the XIX and XX centuries. This research intends to question concrete architectural realizations providing not a single interpretation but the possibility of new ones.

Identity and TransferenceThe Identity and transfer research project is divided in three areas, which integrate research sponsored by consolidated personal sensitivities based on previous studies devoted to issues related to the conditions of living in the twentieth century. The three domains are "Erudito e Popular", which studies the single-family homes of Portuguese immigrants in Brazil, the work of "Rebelo de Andrade Brothers", who investigates Rebelo de Andrade´s architectural production between the thirties and sixties, and finally the "Portuguese architectural design processes produced between the forties and the sixties of the twentieth century", considered a experimental period in the panorama of modern Portuguese architecture.

Forms of housing and public facilities in the forms of public space
The main subject of this project is the Architecture of the public space, with its autonomous and formal identity where the forms of housing and public facilities take place. It searches and develops indicators of its visibility through scientific and artistic production in order to clarify concepts, values and technical reasons in the domain of architecture. Among the expected results stands the definition of an Architectural Design Laboratory of the U.Porto.

OBJECTIVES
During 2010 and with the scope of a strategic reorientation this group develop research towards the need of developing a low cost dwelling, by developing the lusophony living space and studying sustainability based on life cycle analyses of buildings. The research group developed a range of contacts and protocols with different enterprises aiming the potential development of research and collaborative projects.
In the first area of interest, low cost houses, the group has been researching possibilities to reduce construction cost (thus reducing the price of the house) as well as maintenance cost (by reducing the cost during the use phase). first the aim is to decrease the cost by a smarter selection of materials and the improvement of the construction process as a whole, reducing losses of materials, energy and water and decreasing the waste production.
The second aspect, the use phase, as it is a long phase expected to last for 30 to 50 years, its compulsory to improve the performance of the building during the use of it by taking into account the energy demand and others maintenance costs. We intend to develop a personalized, flexible and adapted to nowadays ways oh inhabiting dwellings addressing different social typologies and cultural contexts. In this sense it was presented with seven other companies and institutions an European project in Ecoinnovation program to realize a
research with the scope of creating a prefab sustainable house to international commercialization according o thematic predefined objectives.

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
One of the main achievements was the creation and consolidation of the European group of research and production towards a new living space. This European group was created to produce a product (house) to performed a service (living space) in the most efficient way and addressing the ecological concerns express by the European community by the 20 X 20 X 20 target.
The development of the working methodology and the attribution of tasks to each intervenient and a life cycle thinking approach from cradle to cradle was developed as it is intended to study the whole process, from raw material extraction to waste and recycling potential in the end of the life cycle of this product (house) and service (living space). This intends to cover construction, assembly, service and demolition phases.
The methodology to be use to assess the environmental impacts will be Life Cycle Assessment using specific data when it exists thus taking advantage from the relation with the production industry. To assess the energetic profile of the different models and alternatives we will use a dynamic thermal simulator software, per example IES. This will allow testing the models in different scenarios: locations, orientations, materials, users profiles... Ultimately, to assess the economic dimension of the models and alternatives a Life Cycle Cost Analyses will be realised in order to know the cost of the different options and as we believe that to fully implement in the market an eco prefab dwelling the cost has to be optimised . A multi criteria analyses will be done in order to weight the different dimensions: economic, environmental and energetic of the constructed scenarios aspiring the optimum model – a truly economic and ecologic prefab dwelling.
On the other hand we also should emphasized that due to the presentation of the results and methods of investigation of production of this group in diverse faculties of Angola, it was possible to initiate and create an Architecture course celebrating a protocol with the University José Eduardo dos Santos, in the way to coordinate the course of Architecture in the Instituto Superior Politécnico de Huambo.

OBJECTIVES

CCRE is an open research group that aims to hold the interest of different people and research coming from various institutions and diverse fields of studying subjects and interests. Research activities are linked to 3 main fields of study. (a) City Spaces and Culture, concerned with Documentary Photography for Architecture and the critical use of images as a research tool; (b) Study and Socialization Environments with a Strong Integration of ICT focused on the design and study of hybrid spatial environments: E-Learning Centers and (c) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for collaborative work focused on design communication and learning in Architectural and Art courses. The main purpose of the CCRE is to develop activities connected to three main fields of study supported by collaborative platforms open to the public, facilitating the communication of the research and promoting interaction between universities, research groups, public institutions and the general public.
The research group universe is concerned with the understanding of image and the use of diverse representations methods and media, exploring digital art, communication strategies to allow new ways for people to understand and interact with several public spaces and photography as a research instrument in the fields of architecture, city and territory. The aim is to enhance communication between several people and groups, linking the virtual world of Internet and the physical places where people live and work, and to offer new insights about those places through critical visual narratives and studies.
CCRE intends, on the one hand, to conduct research and work focused on: (1) the use of documentary and artistic photography for architecture and social sciences; (2) the use of diverse representation methods for design communication, (3) the design and study of Learning Spaces with strong integration of ICT; (4) the use of ICT for collaborative work focused on design communication and learning in Architectural and Art courses domains. On the other hand, to allow a broader and systematic interchange of knowledge between researchers already involved in these subject matters or related to creative and cultural actions, in RD&T projects that aim to promote their accessibility by a wider audience by actively using ICT: diverse collaborative platforms in the WWW. This interactive and open platform will make possible to communicate diverse content considered relevant and of quality related to Architecture, Documentary and Artistic Photography, Computer Visualisation and Representation Methods concerning Design communication and to how people live, understand and transform their cities and territory and, in this way, help to achieve more social responsibility and the inclusion of more citizens in the research and planning and design process. All these subjects and its different outputs and works will add and link the knowledge coming from research with the practical experience, opening University to its City and Citizens, which means conducting and promoting research and activities that (re)think critically architecture, using documentary and artistic photography as a visual instrument for inquiring the territory.

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS

CCRE has three main research lines: a) study and social environments with strong integration of ICT; b) ICT for collaborative work in the areas of architectural design and architectural and arts education; and c) spaces of city and culture. The main achievements for each one of these research lines were as follows:

a) City Spaces and Culture
City Spaces and Culture is our research line that has been evolving since 2006 all around diverse projects and actions related to Design Communication Strategies and Documentary and Artistic Photography related to Architecture, City and Territory. Thus, coming from this research line, most important achievement in 2013 were:
a1) Organization of four D.T.W. (Debates, Tertúlias e Workshops) under the 3rd Conference Cycle Integrated in the course of Communication, Photography and Multimedia at School of Architecture of University of Porto;
a2) Publication of three books inside the editorial line, specifically in the collection scopio projects - Topografias a Norte (ISBN 978-989-98726-1-5) and Being and Becoming (ISBN978-989-97699-4-6 ) and scopio contests - Visual Narratives: European Capital of Culture Guimarães 2012 (ISBN 978-989-97699-2-2);
a3) Several spreading actions related to editorial line, its publications and authors;
In order to promote the public disclosure of the contents produced under this research line, we developed several online platforms with the objective of bringing together students, teachers and other researchers interested in this theme and to broaden the discussion beyond the academic place, contributing in this way to the internationalization of the discussions. Examples of these platforms are scopio Network and Comunicação, Fotografia e Multimédia (CFM).

b) Study and Socialization Environments with a Strong Integration of ICT
The Socialization and Learning Environments research line is very related with the Design, Construction and Assessment of Learning Spaces and Learning Centers in the University of Porto, which aims to provide interdisciplinary teams of architectural design with a strong research/information component, having the purpose to improve design standards, conversion and evaluation of various buildings and spaces directly linked to study and socialization, with tight integration of ICT, in the University of Porto. The project also aims to insure monitoring of the use of ICT during the research and design, and evaluate its impact on the use of learning spaces, the Design, construction and assessment of Learning Spaces and Learning Centers in the University of Porto. The main achievements in 2013 were:
b1) development of architectural design project for the construction of the new E-Learning Café of Botanical Garden;
b2) conclusion of architectural design project for the new design for the gardens of E-Learning Café of Asprela;
b3) CCRE began the first steps for establishment of an international research group integrating OECD – CELE - and focused on new socialization / learning spaces with a strong integration of ICT. The objective of the research group is to produce knowledge focused on the assessment of the quality of "educational" spaces in collaboration with the - Center for Effective Learning Environments (CELE) that is institutionally centralized in the OECD unit. This means to aim for planning and design of educational facilities - schools, colleges and universities - as well as studying the impact of these teaching spaces. Specific outputs are the integration of the Center for Effective Learning Environments (CELE), information gathering to establish strategic contacts with research centers / institutions / researchers who in recent years have scientific / architectural study in this area, a seminar on Spaces of Socialization and Learning with a strong integration of ICT.
In addition, a PhD research work has been evolving with the title “Spatial Codes in the teaching/learning of architecture” that involves the analysis and comparative study of several teaching spaces, among them the School of Architecture and University of Porto.

c) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Collaborative Work, Design and Education in the Fields of Architecture and Arts
ICT for collaborative work in the areas of architectural design and architectural and arts education, is the research line focused on design communication and learning in Architectural and Art courses domains.
The main important project of this research line was DARC – Digital Architecture Representation and Communication, a Co-Promotion Project that intended to meet the market needs in Creative Industries: the articulation of digital technologies in broadband and podcasting with various communication strategies and collaborative work in the areas of architecture and urbanism, graphic design, web design, cultural tourism, among others. This project had its beginning in early 2010 and its most important achievement in 2013 were:
c1) The production of a software platform for the (1) organization, representation, promotion and dissemination of diverse content aimed at the market of Creative Industries, Environment, Spatial Planning and Cultural Tourism; (2) the development, sharing of information and representation for interactive collaborative work in the construction industry (Architecture and Urbanism), in Design and in University Education (linked to the arts).
c2) The making of a final report on DARC Project;

The research developed under the three main research lines was published and presented at several seminars and conferences, nationals and internationals.

OBJECTIVES
In the last decade, the integrated use of Computational Design and Digital Fabrication technologies has expanded the possibilities for design conception and materialization. Hosted by CEAU/FAUP, the Digital Fabrication Laboratory (DFL) is a research group committed with investigating the impact of these set of digital technologies in the design field.
The DFL’s Research Agenda encompasses two complementary avenues:
- Design and Material Innovation: investigating new design and material possibilities and rethinking traditional ones;
- Fabrication Technology Innovation: devising new fabrication methods, techniques, devices and machines.
In doing so, the DFL’s Competences are focused in:
- Computational Design – parametric and algorithmic design + computational design thinking;
- Digital Fabrication – additive, subtractive and formative fabrication + robotics.
In this scope, the DFL’s Mission is committed with:
- delivery digital strategies to embrace design and material complexity, variability, customization, efficiency and sustainability;
- investing in the evolution of the DFL internal know-how, skills and facilities;
- stimulating interdisciplinary teamwork and cross-collaboration with other CEAU and UP research groups;

With these premises, the DFL’s Goal aims at becoming a reference Research Laboratory in the field. Through its scientific production, technology innovation, intellectual property and research funding, the DFL wants to contribute for the local and global projection of CEAU/FAUP.

RESEARCH AREA Art StudiesLOCATION OF GROUP (Host Institution)Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do PortoKEYWORDS Urban studies, Urban planning, Built environment

OBJECTIVES
The objectives and scope of research focus on processes and forms of extensive urbanization, clearly favoring the most recent and highly contracting realities of the new geographies created by the "urban explosion" of the last 50 years. The geographical patterns and characteristics of this urbanization are not easily explained, not by demographic changes, nor by the logic of the land market, nor by a model of planning (or their deficits and dysfunctions). By extension, the changes in the forms and processes of urbanization also play the very transformation of the old / consolidated city, as well as how to consider the classical themes like the relationship between urban planning and city architecture or the importance of accommodation production and forms of inhabit.
The main objectives of this research are (1) to observe, understand and explain the structure of extensive or diffused urbanization - axes, conurbations, urban cores, low density areas -, and (2) to explore relationships between form, dynamics and factors of production of such territory. Unlike the "concentrated" city (isolated and distinct from the surrounding territory) and the conventional views of metropolitan areas (restricted to center/periphery model), the work seeks to demonstrate and explain the complex nature of these patterns of urbanization, confronting them with the social and technological changes affecting the new paradigms of residence, mobility and location of economic activity. In short, the aim is to understand what is changing in the organization of society and the resultant of these dynamics in terms of territory production, or mode of urbanization. Policies / programs of public housing deserve a special approach; the context of urbanization must be contrasted between emerging forms and processes, or other older and more consolidated.
This analysis is crucial to understand the context in which urban regulations and the kind of constraints that exist between expectations and results develop. The challenges to the new models of urban regulations must be based and informed on real problems and opportunities.
The definition of the criteria for the organization of urbanized areas, the ranking of problems and actions, or the complexity of the institutional architecture, administrative and political bodies who have responsibility for the regulation of territorial dynamics, etc.., can be problematized only if the complexity of geographical location of new development and this metamorphosis of the "city" to "urban field" are known.
Another dimension of urbanization is the very radical changes of "rural". From simple and generic territory (rural was not what the city and on which it unfolded), the truth is that the residual nature of the agricultural economy - the economic base of rural life - today represents about 2.8% of national GDP and employment. Thus, by default, everything is urban: society, economy, territory, life styles, etc.. This issue requires innovation in the analysis, both in conceptual and theoretical support of urbanization, whether in the case studies where the abandonment of agriculture does not mean depopulation, but urbanization and metamorphosis of land and landscape: in one word, the territory.
The CEAU/ FAUP is still developing some doctoral dissertations that, although not directly linked to the main research interest, integrate and complement all that is involved in the diversity and complexity of contemporary urbanization, namely:
a) context of urbanization in S. Tomé and Principe,
b) issues related to resettlement policies and the forms and experiences of public spaces,
c) the transformation of urban space and the relationship between architecture / city.

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
The conclusion of the project "Urban Policy II" (financed by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation) about the urban form - its dynamic evolution and the challenges that face the objectives, methods of regulation and management of the city urban areas - was the main result of 2010 (work submitted, under revision and editing of scheduled for the first quarter of 2011).
This research with support from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and the previous one related to the La Explosió de la Ciutat (coordinated by A. Font to the Forum Barcelona 2004) led to the deepening of the theme and reinforced the theoretical and analytical framework, involving several researchers and case studies. The opportunity to work with the CCDR.N and CCDR.C for their Regional Plans has provided means, resources and information on patterns of urbanization.
The territorial extension, complexity and diversity of patterns of extensive urbanization - and also of strong mutations in the territories said ex rural or rural - have allowed an in-depth knowledge on the issue at the analytical level and in terms of urban planning regulations and planning.
We are waiting for official approval and publication of PROT North and Centre, in order to publicize research results that are produced directly or indirectly on such Plans.
In our previous report (last year) we decided to organize an exhibition and catalogue that gather and disseminate the improvements of greater relevance in terms of analysis and representation of extensive urbanization. This exhibition / catalogue would be call "a continuous city - cartography of urbanization in central and northern Portugal”.
As a result of theoretical approaches and empirical processes and forms of extensive urbanization was deepened the analysis of urban linear patterns along roads: the "street-road". This theme stems from the importance that roads play in the structuring of extensive urbanization itself, since they are holders of mobility, and drive channels of infrastructure and services for water, sewer, gas and telecommunications. These multiple structural and functional dimensions of the road, explain the intensity of adjacent urbanization and diversity of activities, functions and built forms that are organized according to the network road practicability. The arterial road network (highways) and its nodes are another stream of analysis geared to the neo-clusters that are stepping up - gaining size, functional diversity, employment and polarization effects - along the main access nodes to the arterial network road
Researchers from CEAU associated with this project provide technical support to the Municipality of Guimarães in the review of Local Plan, PDM. Guimarães, being a paradigm of dispersed settlement system, is important to the overall objectives of CEAU-FAUP.
On a strictly academic and teaching plan, the produced research has served to attract young researchers to this issue through the preparation of dissertations and, in smaller numbers, Ph.D.
FAUP offers a Ph.D in Architecture whose profile C “Dynamics and Urban Forms" falls within the objectives of this research group.

RESEARCH AREA Architecture and HeritageLOCATION OF GROUP (Host Institution)Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do PortoKEYWORDS Architectural Heritage; Housing Safeguard, Urban Preservation

OBJECTIVES
The general objectives of the work group are those detailed in last year’s report. It is our goal to continue to develop the group’s research endeavours within the vast area of Built Heritage, including very diverse areas, from rehabilitation projects in specific architectonic works to studies geared towards the analysis and definition of intervention methodologies in historical centres, expending urban areas, and territorial and landscape units of patrimonial value.
Furthermore, the field of study also encompasses the domain of interpretation and architectural intervention in areas and archaeological sites, as well as the analysis of interventions in the recent architectural patrimony that are part of the heritage of the Modern Movement.
The main geographical area of study is that of the national territory, with particular emphasis on the north-western region of the Iberian Peninsula. However, bearing in mind existing valuable exchanges with Brazilian and other Latin American universities, the work group considers it to be worthwhile to extend the scope of its research field to other regions in the world where the Portuguese architectural culture has produced works and affirmed its identity.
The different topics described above are organized in three main lines of research:
a) Studies on City and Territorial Heritage;
b) Architectural Rehabilitation Actions in Built Heritage;
c) Atlas of Ways and Ancient Towns of Portugal.
As to the first research line, the patrimony studies to be developed – from the form of the town to the form of waterfront territory – will have the city of Porto as its starting point and may extend to the Douro Valley and the Atlantic coast and the north-western region of the Iberian Peninsula. The general framework of this line of research includes: the importance of industrial and port activities in the development of the city of Porto and the northern region throughout its history; the relations between central and local political powers and mercantile and customs activities; the projects for the improvement of the navigability of the Douro River and the construction of several port infrastructures and other types of industrial works with patrimonial value.
A second area will be referred to - Actions for the Rehabilitation of Architectural Heritage - and seek to critically assess the processes of intervention in old buildings, focusing on the actions, past and ongoing, in several cities (Porto, Évora , Coimbra, Guimarães, etc.), determining relevant characteristics of their projects and works, with emphasis on aspects related to architectural and design solutions and their interrelationship.
The evaluation, expected to be both of quantitative and qualitative nature (using a methodology of Post-Occupancy Evaluation - POE) will tend to determine the merits and demerits, the appropriateness and inappropriateness of technical and conceptual experiences in order to generate data and reviews that eventually could justify the definition of new management and intervention processes on the urban heritage.
In addition, we intend to develop an intervention model in old buildings, taking as case study Porto houses from XVIII to XIX centuries, based on minimally invasive methods, focusing on recovery and rehabilitation of materials and traditional building techniques, adapting it to the requirements of comfort, functional efficiency and sustainability, which should characterize the construction of buildings today.
The third line – Atlas of the ancient routes and cities of Portugal - is still focused on the analysis, systematization and dissemination of the intervention process developed in the territory since the period of Romanization of the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Portugal, until the late nineteenth century. With the work on historical cartography available, but scattered, efforts will provide a reading of the networks roads in Portugal and its relationship with Europe, throughout history.
All research lines have as common goals the organization of exhibitions, publications, seminars and debates on and with the materials that will be analysed and produced, as well as the creation of post-graduate courses in these specific areas of study.
The supervision of doctoral and master’s dissertations and the presentation of papers in conferences are still fundamental objectives of this group and will continue to be the hallmark of the identity of the Architecture, City and Territorial Heritage Research Group.

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
In 2010, the Atlas of ways and ancient towns of Portugal line of research has participated in the organizing of the 1st International Workshop of Architecture, Landscape and Archaeology - Designing the archaeological landscape, held in Tiermes (Soria), 13-19 October, organized by the Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural Junta Castilla y Leon and Universidad de Valladolid, in collaboration with the Museo Numantino, the Università degli Studi Roma Tre, the Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto and IE Universidad. This action allowed us to prepare, for the year 2011, the organization and the realization of the 2º International Workshop of Architecture, Landscape and Archaeology - Tongobriga 2011, involving the same institutions (FAUP-ETSAV-RomaTre). The Workshop aims to promote a project-oriented approach to perception, comprehension and interpretation of archaeological remains from the territory of Tongobriga (Freixo, Marco de Canavezes) in its cultural, social and lanscape context. It is also the aim of this Workshop to promote a contemporary debate about the cultural occidental landscape, from an integrative perspective, produce drawn records and plausible solutions about the archaeological site of Tongobriga.
It will be held during the academic year 2010/11 the first edition of a course of advanced studies at the Architectural Heritage (third cycle level), to whose establishment and operation was primordial the contribution of the group members.
